Inventory seems low, and I am trying to househack my first unit.

It possible that the market will stay low for a long time.

Do not get excited about getting a low offer signed by the seller as the lenders valuation will be the ultimate determining factor of approvable sale price. 

We want to plan in the most tax vantaged ways (which includes keeping future AGI as low as possible) and open to new-age and creative concepts.Respectfully ask to keep discussion to topic vs. selling one's self or services seeking new business.

I have not familiarity with any of those markets, have just saw a tone of videos about Baltimore and seems like they numbers work out and I have seen prices incredibly low for a home to rehab and remodeled house higher than I would expect.

I've never had something that low, but I'm also looking at roughly $30k in equity on this property. 

You can also gain valuable experience virtually and offer low or no cost "co-hosting" services.

You should be able to go as low as 10-15% down payment with your experience.Ground up Financing: Most "ground up" financing options require a bit of experience - 3-5 exists (rehabbed & sold or rehabbed & refinanced in the last 3 years).

My vision for CountOnCam LLC is to be a company that would like to provide a shared housing experience for women and children, immigrants, and low income families.

You could also list low and if the demand is really there, could get bid up.
